    Inspired by Victoria Beckham, this Nail Inc hue in Bamboo White is ultra-chic and easy-to-wear on any skin tone. Ensuring a perfect glide application, this polish gives a plump, flawless finish and is formulated to promote nail growth.

    We’re obsessed with Azature’s Faint White Diamond polish and not just because it has a real black diamond in every bottle! With just the right amount of sparkle, this shade is totally sexy and will complement any outfit.

    A subdued nude shade is perfect for the office, but if you want a subtle touch of colour then you’ll love Nail Inc’s minty pastel Swan Street hue. It appears white on application but reveals a pale pastel shade once dry. Clever!
